As I just said a minute before you xD It DOES Work! I just did it wrong before! You are a life saver. I am sharing your tip across the Google Help Forums and Reddit as we speak. Hopefully it will help others!stephenmoore009 wrote:that's weird... after doing what I posted (since about 3:10-3:20PM EST) mine has worked flawlessly. may just be a fluke and not work at all tomorrow, but as of now no ads and no error pauses... ill keep updating though. over on reddit the youtube guys are blaming adblock. but from what I can gather nobody knows whats happening...Clappie wrote:Doesn't work here.

So far no response, but i DID just post them all. I made to sure mention, in every single post that I wasn't the one who found the possible solution.
I will make sure to post here if the response is positive or negative with links!
Cheers again!

that's awesome...!
Re: YouTube now shows "An error has occurred" while ads running
The solution above did not seem to work for me. Confirmed I disabled all ads based of interest, offline and online. Confirmed I'm on the right account on youtube and google after installing Opt-out.
I'm still getting the error sadly.

Re: YouTube now shows "An error has occurred" while ads running
that sucks, I'm sorry. maybe someone will come up with something better soon... as of today mine is still working fine...!!!
Re: YouTube now shows "An error has occurred" while ads running
That means, from feedback, that we are 10 people it has worked for so far, that I know of, and 3 it hasn't. Womp and 2 on Reddit.
*Sadface*
As it's still working for me, after having just woken up.

Since changing my Google ad settings, it far lessens the issue but it still happens occassionally

Thats sad :/ I am going to guess you also installed the extension? And Opted out all 3 places you can? 1 in Online, 2 in Offline.Zeak wrote:Since changing my Google ad settings, it far lessens the issue but it still happens occassionally
So far it seems most are responding positively. Of written feedback I have about 15 or 16 replies (including myself) of positve response (From here, Reddit and Youtube Help Forums), and 4 of negative response. Two from here, and two on Reddit.
I have written messages to a top contributor and a Google Experts on the Youtube Help forums, as well as a Google Employee on Reddit, so hopefully this is something they will look into, as it does seem to be something about the ads themselves and the ad settings, if turning off ads based on interrest helps the majority.
Hopefully this will be fixed permanently for everyone soon. Eitherway, hopefully the guys making the different Adblockers will know where to look now, when updating the Adblockers.
Sorry I can't help you though.

Re: YouTube now shows "An error has occurred" while ads running
mine is still working great... ive been checking the feedback on the two links you posted clappie, I'm surprised that it works for most but there are just a select few that is not working. I'm wondering if they are doing everything right, and all at once.... its confusing, makes me want to go back and change mine to see if it starts again but I don't want to mess it up since it is working again...
Re: YouTube now shows "An error has occurred" while ads running
